Welcome to bike ride.com!!! Nice ride, I love how fat tires look on 20' Wheels, just a question, I noticed your brakes were cable actuated, do you feel that they have enough stopping power for your bike since it only goes up to 25kph or do you have an urge to upgrade and get hydraulic brakes?

Thanks!

Hi Friend - This is an issue I have been considering for yonks - at the moment, because of the type of trails I use, I don't ride aggressively (or fast!) I think I'll stick with what I've got, if I do change to hydraulic system, I shall be getting them from Big Game Bikes, they are a great one-stop shop for ebikes. Appreciate the input. Ride Rad!

Hey, Rad. I'm not at the e-bike stage yet, but I may not be far away after shoulder surgery, calf tear, and more. I'll be back on the road in about another month after recovery and see how I do. Stay with us. Be safe.

Hi @Peran! Welcome to the forums.

Is that the RadRunner 2? It is rated quite highly.

I'm down in "sunny" Kent.

Hi Enkei
No - it's a Radrunner, some call it the Radrunner 1, the only difference is that the Radrunner 2 has already been fitted out with certain "extras" - Fenders etc: to see what improvements I have made to my Radrunner check out Vlogs 6.10 &24

Hope you enjoy

Ride Rad!
